The 28 is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the element silicon.
ALL silicon atoms have 14 protons in the nucleus, so we can turn this into an equation:
#protons + #neutrons = 28
14 + #neutrons = 28
#neutrons = 14
#protons = 14

Answer: 14 protons and  14 neutrons

Explanation:

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons that are present in an atom.

Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of protons = 14

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons = 28

Number of protons + Number of neutrons = 28

14 + Number of neutrons = 28

Number of neutrons = 14

Thus there are 14 protons and  14 neutrons in ^{28}_{14}\textrm {Si}

jarptica [38.1K]

<u>Given: </u>

Radius of culvert, r = 0.5 m

Tangential acceleration of the truck, a = 3 m/s2

<u>To determine:</u>

The angular acceleration, α

<u>Explanation:</u>

The tangential acceleration is related to the angular acceleration through the radius as:

a = rα

α = a/r = 3 ms⁻²/0.5 m = 6 s⁻²

Ans: The angular acceleration is 6 s⁻²

Use the drop-down menus to complete each sentence.
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Explanation:

Elements that belong to same group contains same number of valence electrons. Hence, they tend to show similar chemical properties.

When we move across a period then number of electrons get added to the same shell. As a result, there will be no increase in size of elements.

Also, metals are the elements that belong to group 1, 2 and d-block elements are also known as metals. Metallic character of elements decreases when we move left to right in a periodic table.

As most reactive metals are placed on the left side of periodic table.

Since, size of elements increases on moving down the group. So, an element is able to easily lose its valence electrons because of less force of attraction between its nucleus and valence electrons.

As a result, there will be increase in reactivity of metals on moving down the group.

Thus, we can conclude that given sentences are as follows.

  • Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons.
  • Elements in the same period have the same number of electron shells.
  • Metallic elements become less reactive as you move left to right in a period.
  • Metallic elements become more reactive as you move top to bottom in a group.

____H3PO4 + ____ KOH --&gt; ______K3PO4 + ____H2O can someone please balance that chemical equation?
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

H3PO4 + 3KOH ----> K3PO4 + 3H2O

Explanation:

The valency of K element is + 1 while that of PO4 compound is -3

Hence, at least 3 K atoms are needed to combine with PO4 to form K3PO4 compound.

Hence, the revised equation will be

H3PO4 + 3KOH ----> K3PO4 + 3H2O

Now, the number of atoms and charges of each element is a given equation are equal on both the left and right hand side.

Which statement about Fe is supported by the modern atomic theory but not John Dalton’s theory?
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

One of the claims of John Dalton's atomic theory is that atom is the smallest unit of matter (which suggests that there are no particles smaller than an atom in any matter). This claim has been disproved by the modern atomic theory which established that there are particles smaller than atom (called subatomic particles). These particles are electrons, protons and neutrons.

One of the modern atomic theory was by Neils Bohr, who proposed that <u>electrons move in circular orbits around the central nucleus</u>. Thus, the electrons of iron can also be said to be present in a region of space (circular path) around the nucleus. This proves that option B is the correct option as John Dalton's theory did not even recognize the electron(s) nor the nucleus.
